How do you feel about parents injecting a chip into their childrens that could then be tracked on your phone or computer?

I am all for it.

Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing, Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect nor do I strive to be, I am alive in this world of face first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard through the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race, or color, a hallucination if you will
Sneaking into the lives of strangers, and letting them fall apart to a new rhythm just to feel better

It's just creepy. Parents are already too involved in their kid's lives (social media, cell phones). As a kid, the only rule was "come home at dark", and they preferred if we didn't come back any sooner.

Reading almost every day about kids going missing is a bit fucked. Its not always neligence either.

It's bad enough to grow up and learn about rights of citizens, and realize that for a few more years that you don't have those rights, and that your parents basically own you like a dog.

I would have lost my mind if I had some kind of tracking wristwatch or collar that I couldn't take off, or a microchip embedded in my arm, and would have resented my parents for not respecting me as a human. At the very least, it's easier to grasp that your parents preside over your at-home existence because you're a dumb kid...but it's inconceivable to think that your parents don't consider you a pet-like subhuman and yet still put a microchip in you that serves a purpose that they themselves would never consent to.

Also, I would have cut that thing out as soon as I learned it was in there...especially in this day and age when a chip removal procedure would be a readily accessible youtube video.

The biggest worry you have is running out of weed and paying your phone bill so dont sit there acting all snooty and high and mighty. I get the freedom thing, but shit isnt as simple as it use to be. Couple weeks ago some guy broke into a house and kidnapped a little girl. She was found dead weeks later. Maybe she would still be alive if they found her sooner.

I also never said i agreed with it, i was only asking for thoughts.

Yea, I can say with certainty that I can speculate all day about it, but I have no kids and therefore can't really give you a viewpoint on thus subject as a parent.

Idk, it's difficult to distinguish where to draw the line. Back in the 50s and 60s, you could go down to the local general store and buy some short sticks of dynamite for clearing rocks or stumps out of your yard, educational kits existed that would terrify most parents these days, and everyone was ok with letting their children ride around in the front seat without a seat belt, and yet the vast majority of children growing up during that time made it out ok. Of course, there were more deaths that could have been prevented

I still think that it has a lot to do with perceived risk vs. actual risk...and quality of life for the children. If you react to every preceived risk that shows up on the news, then your kids will end up living in a bubble, and won't mentally develop like they should. But if you ignore the facts (the top few reasons children die, and steps to take to prevent them), then your child has a significantly decreased life expectancy.

Idk, just offering up some discussion both ways...

I am not an overly protective parent, but naturally that dreaded thought is always in the back of my mind so of course ill take every measure in protecting them. Even if it means i have to inject tracking chips and cameras in their eye balls.

On a side note, they sell shoes with tracking devices.

You're assumptions are hilarious... I also worry about running out of kratom Plus I don't pay any phone bills, I use wifi for everythang...

You're right I don't have any kids to worry about but I still wouldn't chip my kids on the principle that they are not animals (if you think about it they kinda are).

So what's the story behind the kidnapper, was he a random kook or someone the family knew?
